"And So You Shall Be... The Fellowship of the Ring."

I'd bought an 18-pack of Bud Light earlier that morning. Also a bag of Cheetos, some salt and pepper potato chips, and a can of peanuts for some reason. I thought we would need the salt.

This trilogy means a lot to me. You don't have to love this series to be my friend. I've got plenty of friends who have never seen these movies and have no plans to. They have other good qualities to make up for this absurd lack in judgment. But when people come into my life who have seen these movies as much as I have, who respond the same way to the same scenes, who label it not just as an entertaining set of films but as an influence, there's a soul bond formed. It's the only thing I'd write my 50th article about. It's the first thing I made a drinking game for.

Seb and I had watched these movies together before, but never in sequence. And when I learned they were moving to the other side of the country, we both knew it was a thing we had to do.

"I Didn't Realize What a Sausage Fest this Movie Was."

Apart from "Mission Impossible", most Americans probably think of "Ocean's Eleven" when they think of the heist movie genre. A remake of a 60's movie by the same name starring Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, the film is the epitome of class. A bunch of dashing men from all walks of life banding together to pull of the perfect crime. The main draw of this film is the cast; anyone who wasn't already famous could expect to be in the decades following (except maybe the Amazing Yen.)

I hadn't made a drinking game for a heist flick yet, so I thought, what better place to start than with this film? We ran into some unexpected pitfalls while play-testing this particular game, but one thing's for sure: you can fully expect to be hit hard and fast by these rules. When it comes to making drinking games, I don't play around.
